Jay-Z and Kanye West play ‘Niggas In Paris’ a dozen times at French show

Rappers attempt world record for the number of times one track has been played consecutively at Paris show.

Jay-Z and Kanye West played their track ‘Niggas In Paris’ 12 times at their show in the French capital last night.

The rappers have been performing their signature track an increasing number of times during their ‘Watch The Throne’ tour, culminating with a personal record of 12 times at their most recent show.

Introducing the track in a video on RollingStone.com, West told the crowd: “Y’all have to remember this moment for the rest of your life. This will be the most times this song has been performed and the most times anybody ever performed a song at a concert, and y’all here tonight to be a part of it, Paris.”

Imploring the crowd to move, Jay-Z told them: “Take it all the way back, this is for the record.”

During the North American leg of the tour, the rap duo performed the track three times in New York and six times in Miami. By the time they reached Los Angeles they played it back to back 10 times, only to eclipse it by performing it 11 times in Vancouver a few days later, taking up nearly 40 minutes of the concert.
